Elevated cottage in the Côte d'Or countryside

Perched above a quiet sub-hamlet in Burgundy, this two-bedroom cottage sits in an elevated position with valley views from both bedrooms. It sleeps four comfortably and can be linked by footpath or road to two neighbouring properties, making it ideal for larger groups booking together.

Upstairs, the first bedroom has a double bed, an en-suite shower room, a dressing table with hairdryer, and a Velux window framing the valley. Downstairs, two single beds and a large picture window face the garden. The open-plan living area has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and a large fridge-freezer, and two further picture windows bring the garden in.

Step outside and the mature garden opens up with meandering footpaths leading to hidden corners. You can settle on the sunny stone terrace, find a shaded seat, or gather under the covered alfresco dining area when the weather turns. Off-road parking for two cars is available.

Within 15 minutes' drive you'll find Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, the Roman ruins at Alesia, the Abbaye de Fontenay, and the medieval streets of Semur-en-Auxois. Dijon is around 45 minutes away, and Beaune just over an hour. The hosts can point you towards walking routes, printed maps, and a few lesser-known swimming spots the locals keep quiet about.
